The Poop Math

Our calculator uses a formula based on cat weight and activity level to estimate monthly litter usage.

Formula
Monthly Litter (kg) = (0.9 × Weight) + 0.5

• Activity multiplier adjusts for more active cats that use the litter box more frequently

Frequently Asked Questions

Many new cat owners focus only on the purchase price, but ongoing costs like litter can exceed the initial investment. Planning for these costs helps ensure you can provide the best care.
Our estimates are based on market research and average prices. Individual costs may vary based on your location, the specific breeder, and the cat's actual size and activity level.
Cost is one factor, but personality, activity level, and your living situation are more important. Also consider adopting from a shelter - these cats are equally loving and adoption fees are much lower.
